Sarah Marie Jordaan is an Associate Professor of Industrial Ecology Life Cycle Assessment at the Department of Civil Engineering and the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design, McGill University. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on combinations of life cycle assessment, techno economic analysis, and technology innovation to develop solutions for a more sustainable energy future. She has published 40 peer reviewed articles (including in journals such as Nature Climate Change, Science, Environmental Science & Technology), a book, and she has completed over 40 invited and 20+ conference presentations. She earned her doctorate in Environmental Design from the University of Calgary in 2010 and her Bachelor of Science (Physics) was completed at Memorial University in 2003. Prior to McGill, she held positions at Harvard University, the Electric Power Research Institute, the University of Calgary, UC San Diego, and the Johns Hopkins University. As an awardee of the 2022 Education Leadership Award from the American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA) and active member of ACLCA since 2008, she has been publishing on LCA of energy technologies for over a decade and teaching the topic for over six years. She seeks to bridge disciplinary knowledge for students and prepare them to take on challenges in decision-making whether they pursue a career in academia, industry, the public sector or a non-profit organization.
